^ How can you make such an obviously wrong statement?

Drag Music app to Trash, and that it! Like you do with any other app.

Google will eventually copy…

Weird take given Google basically invented and released through well written papers and open-source software the modern deep learning stack which all others build on.

Google was being disses because they failed to make any product and were increasingly looking like Kodak/Xerox one trick pony. It seems they have woken up from whatever slumber they were in

Why? Social security is young supporting the old.

That’s pretty much what the British did in Bengal.

Frankly there isn’t much money in surveillance - with the “Google” and the four colors gone I doubt the “Chrome” brand is going to be worth much. “Blackrock Private Equity LLC Chrome” just does not have the ring.

The money is in Chrome patents and copyright. One can go to town and blitzkrieg the NodeJS ecosystem which has super deep pockets. SCO will look baby-talk.

“Divesting” Chrome does not even make much sense. Divestment means owner must sell the assets to an unrelated party so $$$ must trade hands in exchange for something of value.

Here is me “thinking aloud”, I don’t have that kind of money to buy Chrome.

Assuming someone has the funds to buy Chrome, they will end up buying the IP and brand. The IP is copyright on the code which is mostly open source, proprietary Google services integration bits, and then the brand.

I can see value in buying the patents & copyright to the codebase and taking it private to build a proprietary State of the art browser to sell or bundle for free with Ads.

Nobody is going to pay for a browser in 2025 so Mritun’s Chrome (my brand - I can’t call it Google Chrome anymore) is going to be ad supported. I might have to think of paid V8 runtimes like Mritun’s Electron and Mritun’s NodeJS to extract maximum value from my investment.

All in, in these high interest-rate environment, I do not see someone buying Chrome to fund it for free - however a lot of ecosystems depend on Chrome, so the best bet would be to use copyright and patents to go after the users. If I have money, I can totally see buying Chrome for approx $100M and then going after monetization.

investigators did not receive a response from Raoult, the corresponding author. To date, 32 papers published by IHU authors have been retracted, 28 of them co-authored by Raoult, and 243 have expressions of concern.

I am not a scientist but it of 32 faulty widgets, 28 widgets are made by a guy called Raoult, then even blue collar workers know Raoult is an idiot with no business making widgets. If that does not happen, ACME Widgets will eventually go out of business.

This is how science gets discredited - by allowing idiots do “science”. Here Raoult does not get kicked out, but is Director of the ACME - this is how entire field of medicine research gor tainted.

Same thing happened that has the cooks and gardeners beholden to non-compete agreements in the land of the free!

Greed is universal. Slavery is one of the outcomes.

Non-determinism doesn’t mean chaos.

Record the seed for all RNGs used (if you’re using more than one for your SkipList implementation) and then your Skip lists are no more harder to debug than a linked-list.

RO2040 isn’t slow - it’s literally one of the fastest on the market. It’s a dual core microcontroller that can easily run both cores at 133-250+ MHz.

https://github.com/Wren6991/PicoDVI

The GPIO on RPi is not very useful for precision work and you’re limited to using SPI (usually to talk to an auxiliary microcontroller). The GPIO on RP2040 is so good that you can use it as 24 channel 100Msps logic analyzer in a pinch.

https://github.com/gusmanb/logicanalyzer

RP2040 is a micro-controller and does not have an MMU. It cannot natively run any OS that relies on a MMU and that includes NetBSD. One can of course write an emulator that does and run that emulator on RP2040 and NetBSD on the emulator.

edit: Emulators, of course!

All this isn’t exactly a secret. ARM maintains and provides extensive documentation and so does Apple. Is there anything specific you think is being hidden or obfuscated in the documentation?

This thread is definition of serfs jealous of other serf’s 7% over while the masters clear 23% for watching over serfs.

Sick people with life-threatening diseases are incredibly impressionable and a lucrative customer base.

… and dead people tell no tales. They can’t warn others against ineffective treatments and the preventive measures that they would love to have access to.

“literal shit”? Check the code in your area. The toilet outlet goes into 4” pipe straight to septic, not the 2” drain pipe.

I upvoted to counteract the downvotes. The question is genuine and needs a thoughtful reply.

OP, the tech exists however contrary to expectations, to have multiple displays attached with a bandwidth constrained connection, the display tends to have all the special bits in it (contrast it with your “please stop having displays be 'special”)

To support no bits moving when image is static, the display must incorporate a framebuffer and once you add franebuffer to the display, it stops being a dumb display. Eg. You can add smarts to it and expose higher level primitives for “display acceleration” and reduce the bandwidth required further… and very quickly the display is just a computer with memory and video accelerator (aka graphics card) connected with a cable.

This is what RDP. Xdisplay and VNC accomplish. The basic complexity is not reduced but moved elsewhere. However the function gained is very useful so they exist and it’s a competitive landscape!

Good riddance. Businesses have zero reasons for sending me unsolicited texts - and any messages thread not initiated by the user is unsolicited.

M2 Pro can always drive 3. The MBP just has one display built-in, so can drive 2 more.

I’d like to assume that there was no mess to begin with.

This is one of those cases where saying really shitty things is still not considered “legally” wrong.

“It was just a joke” smh

“ In various conversations, the Quigleys refer to attaching images of oven doors to the Aronsons' house, of burning their children and of wishing their Jewish neighbors had been blown up in a terrorist attack in Israel.”

Huh, so what’s EFF’s stance on spamming and phishing block lists? If ISPs are going to deplatform spammers and DDoSers where are they going to go?

Unsure about Gnu pass, but several (offline) password managers on iOS support Yubikey. One such example is Keepassium (Open source, GPL) https://keepassium.com/blog/2020/01/keepassium-1.10-yubikey/

… and money. Two years ago before he wrote that check, he sold his last startup for a cool $220M.

Money begets money!

The challenge with authorization is that mistakes are catastrophic.

The foremost benefit of Cedar is that the implementation is formally proven. Which means that you are extremely unlikely to have to deal with unexpected behavior! Of course, the modeling needs to be reviewed manually for completeness, but the verifier can tell if the model is buggy or inconsistent.

These are uniduct tunnels. There’s no emergency exit. Any fire in these tunnels will be a disaster.

nb. In tunnels, the smoke kills.

CarPlay and AndroidAuto don’t give the car any access to the phone data and that’s the “problem” GM seems trying to “fix”.

CarPlay and AndroidAuto protocols basically treat car’s display as a remote framebuffer.

Raising the FD limit is the right answer. 1024 is absurdly low in modern context and is a carry over from the past that needs to die.

If we’re talking anecdotally, I am running dual stack IPv6 and have had zero issues with Minecraft or any other game on my network on Xbox, Switch, iOS and PC.

I was about to write a knee-jerk comment about how short-sighted the EU law is, but then I stopped and rethought.

EU (and India) are fundamentally trying to strengthen their local economies and severe their dependence on US based entities. I could disagree but I think it’s really important to understand that these are sovereign nations with dedicated think tanks.

Policy decisions like this are debated and then enacted. It would not be surprising if the coverage of Open Source software repositories is not accidental, but actually a very well thought nuance because truth is that nearly all big Open Source entities are US based! In the eyes of the policy makers, The “big tech problem” may not be limited to commercial for-profit entities and arguably more relevant to open-source which is where EU is betting it’s future on.

However absurd it may seem to a open source activist, it may not seem absurd for a policy maker to consider that open source stewardship should have an independent EU chapter as well that answers to EU policy and abides by the local laws. It may not happen on day 1, but policymakers of such wide ranging laws like the Digital Markets act, think more in decades, than years.

TL;DR - Interesting interpretation is that Digital Market act purposefully covers all “big tech players” - commercial or open source. In the eyes of EU policy makers Mozilla, Apache and Debian foundations could very well be as “US controlled” and “strategically important” as commercial entities!

(disclaimer: I work for a large corporation, but this comment is my own 1am thought!)

“Now we're seeing quantity come through because companies with internal 3-year product cycles are starting to dump their 2018/2019s, and inevitably a lot of those are locked,” he said.

Yeah, right! 2c says these computers are MDM locked and still on the managed inventory. These recyclers should talk to their supplier. Just supplier saying “trust me it’s 100%” legal is not enough.

And yeah, I really don’t want Apple or any other manufacturer to make it easier to fence potentially stolen goods. Many people don’t remember the times when white earbuds (ie you have an iPod or iPhone) made you a hot mugging target! It’s not a thing anymore since Apple added reselling locked devices worthless.
